Genoa1893

It happened that I kindly answered I would have taken my car back without letting them work on it! I must say they were anyway very friendly and even topped the coolant for free. Then I happily drove back to Italy (I mean +450Km) and - apart from stopping several times to top it up - I had no whatsoever hint of overheating of water nor of oil. Water temp raised progressively to 90°C and holded, maximum oil temp I saw (I kept monitoring water and oil temp) was 107°C while climbing the mountains but the temperature was clearly under car control, and typically was around 100°C (perfect value, would say). This morning she's recovered in a Skoda garage in Italy. For sure this pump (?) failure didn't kill the car.

Car is 2018, just 83K kilometers (just 51K miles). Two weeks ago while I was in Switzerland a low level for coolant blinked on my dashboard. I topped it and after a while I got the same warning and indeed no coolant enough. It was detected the famous leak of the water pump. The engine oil was just warm (always less than 100°C) She was brought to an official Skoda dealer in Frauenfeld (CH) which "offered" water pump, belt and even screws replacement for an astonishing 2500 CHF (2200 GBP). No comment...

Driven as usual, it's waaayy better

Tried this afternoon, I found that linear behavior for throttle pedal was already configured. I got errors I could not clear when I tried changing the front assist to Audi suggested by the video, so I rolled back to the original one (for ACC) while keeping the audi mod for the engine and no errors... I also configured increased traction, disabled the rough road "optimization" and set XDS to aggressive w/no errors. Driven gently, it's hard to spot the difference. I could not yet stomp my foot, but so far so good.

Thanks a lot, and kudos for your VRS!

Sorry if it has perhaps been requested one million times, but is the mod for the VRS like this one?
